Valiollah Nanvakenari a member Majlis (Parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission made the remarks in an interview with ICANA.

Touching upon a postponement in relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds, the lawmaker said US President Donald Trump had pledged to move the Israeli embassy in his election campaign.

He added the relocation of the US embassy would be faced with the regional and global reactions.

In an annual summit in the northwestern Jordanian city of Sweimeh last month, the Arab League heads of state reiterated support for an independent Palestinian state, while censuring the Israeli regime for its continued settlement construction in the occupied territories.

In a final declaration issued at the end of its summit, the Arab League voiced opposition to any plan for the transfer of embassies from Tel Aviv to al-Quds.
